Earlier this week, Daniel Radcliffe joined Sean Evans on my fave digital series, Hot Ones. Now, Danny boy spent a LOT of time discussing his paparazzi-evading techniques, his love for the New York Jets, and his most recent project, Escape from Pretoria. But Sean did us ALL a favor and carved out a few minutes to ask Daniel some fun queries about his time on Harry Potter that got some never-before-heard responses from him! Here's everything we learned:
1. Harry Potter — both the character and the series — has been the inspiration for many rap lyrics, and Daniel revealed that the one by CupcakKe is his favorite:
2. The banquets in the Great Hall and feasts at Hogwarts were always Daniel's favorite food moment from the series — specifically when they eat breakfast:
3. The gillyweed that Harry had to eat in The Goblet of Fire was Daniel's least favorite food moment:
4. The aforementioned gillyweed — which Harry ate to grow gills and accomplish the second task in the TriWizard cup — was actually made of black licorice:
5. Contrary to popular belief, Daniel did NOT go through over a hundred pairs of Harry's iconic glasses:
6. Daniel DID, however, go through quite a few wands. His wand would have to be replaced every three to four weeks because he would always drum it on his knee:
7. During the transfiguration class in Chamber of Secrets, there were upwards of 60 live animals in the classroom:
8. While shooting, a monkey started jerking off "relentlessly" in its cage:
9. But my absolute fave tidbit that Daniel revealed? Apparently Rupert Grint — who played Ron — got peed on by a bat:
Wow, as a huge fan of Harry Potter, this was so cool to learn about. Now I wonder what other unknown facts are still lingering in the noggins of these wizards...
If you wanna hear Daniel talk about a SLEW of other topics — and pound back some super hot chicken wings, to boot — be sure to catch his Hot Ones interview with Sean Evans:
